Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 450 Shawn Is Close to Cracking

With worry for the child's safety, Kelly left, taking Hanson with her.

The office was left with only Shawn, Ken, and the assistant, Floyd.

"Ken, as it stands, you have no allies within the company," Shawn stated, his face serious. "The workforce is refusing to cooperate. Even with the shares, you'll have no real power. And now, you've made enemies who want you eliminated."

Ken looked at Shawn calmly. "I wanted shares to run Wagner Group or to make it better.

Shawn paused, stunned as he looked at Ken. "What? What are you...

He didn't finish the sentence. Instead, he sat down heavily, a mix of shock and disappointment in his eyes.

Ken wanted to destroy Wagner Group.noveldrama

Shawn had once believed Wagner Group was his opportunity to pursue his aspirations, demonstrate his abilities, and achieve the recognition he craved. He imagined that through dedication, he could stand out and be noticed.

But now, Ken's goal was destruction.

"Shawn, if you truly have the ability, you can start from nothing and build something great. Leaning on others will never lead you to your own legend..." Ken continued, calm and composed. "And it could destroy you instead."

Wagner Group had always been Patrick's tool-to launder money, to legitimize his wealth, to shield his identity ...

Tear down that shield, and Patrick would have no choice but to show his true self or flee the country.

But Patrick knew that if he left and became a wanted man, he could never return to his homeland again.

There was no other way for Patrick Wagner; he had to burn his bridges and leave.

Shawn was silent for a long time. Finally, he stood. "Whatever you choose to do, I won't stop you. But others will. Be careful."

With that, Shawn walked out of the meeting room.

"Mr. Wagner, the chairman wants to see you." As soon as Shawn stepped into the corridor, Patrick's assistant stopped him.

The assistant looked visibly displeased, clearly criticizing Shawn for not siding with Patrick earlier.

Shawn clenched his fists. "I'm busy."/

He didn't want to see Patrick. Now that the masks were off, there was no need to pretend anymore.

But the assistant didn't let him leave.

He stood in front of Shawn, blocking his way.

Shawn's glare was a challenge, but against Patrick's mercenary bodyguard, he was hopelessly outmatched.

Unable to resist, Shawn was forced to go see Patrick.

As soon as he stepped into the room, his mother slapped him hard across the face.

"Have you gone insane?!" his mother, Serena, screamed at him like a madworrian.

Tin not insane. I'm doing what's right! We need to cut ties with him before we get dragged down tool th him before we get dragged down to of Shawn shouted back, desperate for her to see the truth.

If they stayed entangled with Patrick, they'd all get caught up in it eventually.

But Serena wouldn't hear it. In her eyes, it was all about power, status, and vanity.

Her son was nothing more than a pawn-a way to hold on to wealth, influence, and Patrick.

Furious, she looked around, spotted a glass ashtray on the table, grabbed it, and smashed it down toward Shawn's head.

Shawn's vision went black from the blow...

Blood streamed down his forehead, blurring his sight.

He didn't even try to evade it. He was stunned that his mother would want him dead.

He was aware of her lack of affection, but not her capacity for such cruelty. Staggering back, leaning against the wall for support, Shawn stared at his mother. "So it's true... Some mothers really don't love their children ... '

Still fuming, Serena glared at him. "You're a fool. I should never have given birth

to you! If I'd had a smarter child, would I be this angry?!"

Patrick had been sitting in silence, watching the fight between mother and son unfold.

When Serena looked like she was about to strike, again, Patrick finally spoke, "Enough."

Serena, visibly anxious, faced Patrick. "It's my fault, Patrick. I failed to train him adequately. Perhaps my instructions were unclear. I'll correct this with stricter discipline."

Patrick stood up and looked at Shawn. "No matter what happens, I will always be your father. That's a fact that can't be changed."

Leaning against the wall, vision fading, Shawn finally whispered, "Yes, it's an unchangeable fact... And that's the saddest part."

If you never loved me, why bring me into this world? Why give me life without love? The term 'illegitimate child' is a cruel joke.

Serena screamed, gripping his arm/tightly, "Speak respectfully to your father! You think you're so big now? Are you trying to drive me insane? Will I only be heard when I'm gone?"

Tears welled in Shawn's eyes as he looked at her.

Besides guilt-tripping me, could she say anything a mother should say?

Serena, her voice rising, jabbed a finger at Shawn's forehead. "I raised you alone, gave up everything for

your education, your future! And this is my reward? Act like an adult! You're not a child. The company needs you, and you're betraying your father? Have you lost all sense?"

Shawn felt like his cars were ringing.

na continued to scream.

"If I jump from upstairs, would that make you happy?" Serena continued to

scream.

At that moment, Shawn looked out the window.

He was the one who wanted to jump.

He felt suffocated.

Living in that warped, affectionless environment was an unbearable ordeal.

"Think carefully," Patrick said coldly. "If anything happens to Wagner Group, it will only hurt you. There's no benefit. You're my son. We're on the same boat-sink or swim."

After a lengthy silence, Shawn suddenly crumpled to the ground.

But even as he lost consciousness, his mother's relentless scolding and insults echoed in his ears.

Underground parking garage.

Ken and Floyd had just stepped down when a suspicious van sped past them. Floyd immediately stood in front of Ken, protecting him as his eyes locked onto the vehicle.

With his soldier's intuition, he turned his attention to the car they had come in.

"We can't use the car. Let's take the subway," Floyd said quietly.

Ken looked at their car. "There's something wrong with it?"

Floyd nodded and called Gary." Colonel Wagner, our car at the Wagner Group underground garage may have been tampered with. Can you send someone to investigate?"

"Is he okay?" Gary asked immediately.

"Don't worry!" Floyd responded confidently. "With me here, nothing will happen to Mr. Morris. We're heading for the subway now."

The line was silent for a moment before Gary responded again, "No need. I'll come pick him up myself." After hanging up, Floyd grinned at Ken. "The colonel's personally coming to get us."

Ken smiled faintly but said nothing, simply following Floyd out.

Gary arrived soon after, having driven himself there.

Floyd, feeling a little awkward, said, "Having you drive us... It doesn't feel right.

Maybe I should drive?"

Gary glanced at him. "You're overthinking it. You're taking the subway. I'm here for

him."

Ken patted Floyd on the shoulder. "Stay safe."

Then he got into Gary's car.

As Gary drove off, Floyd stood scratching his head. So Colonel Wagner wasn't planning to give me a ride...

Ken sat in the back of the car, silent and lost in thought, gazing out the window.

"You're still mad at me... "Gary finally spoke when the car stopped.

Ken snapped out of his thoughts, realizing Gary hadn't taken him home-but

instead to the mountaintop villa. "Why did you bring me here?"

"Your place isn't safe. Someone's already broken in. From now on, you'll stay with

me," Gary said firmly, giving no room for discussion.
